It’s Madness: Our HAUS, in the middle of InstallerSHOW

When the doors open at the NEC on 24 June 2025, InstallerSHOW will be the proud home of HAUS, a full scale, 2-storey, 3-bedroom house. HAUS will provide the perfect focal point within the new InstallerBUILD hall, linking together over 800 suppliers of innovative low carbon building solutions. 

HAUS is an exciting collaboration between Natural Building Systems, award-winning architects IF_DO, and InstallerSHOW, and has already generated a huge response from suppliers wishing to be involved in this project. Both InstallerSHOW favourites and new suppliers joining us at InstallerBUILD recognise the attraction of HAUS to local authorities, housebuilders, developers, and specifiers interested in solutions to building affordable and sustainable homes. 

There are many reasons why partners and suppliers are so excited about HAUS at InstallerSHOW. Firstly, this is a real house. HAUS will be taken from InstallerSHOW, rebuilt, and lived in by a family. Conversations are underway about where the house may go, from academic research establishments to new housing developments. Wherever it does appear, it will continue to attract attention long after InstallerSHOW 2025 has ended. 

Another reason HAUS has generated so much interest is our key partner on the project, The University of Suffolk, which will study its energy performance. Built to Passivhaus standards, HAUS will be a futureproof scalable model for development for local authorities and commercial developers. 

HAUS will also provide a blueprint for how sustainable high-quality homes can be built using modern methods and offsite construction. Building a real house for InstallerSHOW, with an immoveable deadline, allows Natural Building Systems to demonstrate the latest in Modern Methods of Construction, low-carbon materials, and clean tech innovation. Unlike other projects, the completion of HAUS cannot be delayed, and it will provide crucial learnings for both developers and local authorities – proving that you can build to a deadline.

The design of the HAUS you will see at InstallerSHOW will provide cutaways and information about products to explain how the fabric and systems within it are designed to work together. Crucially, we are working with suppliers to explain the circularity and sustainability of the products used – ensuring the sustainability credentials stand up to scrutiny. 

It’s not just our suppliers and partners that are excited. HAUS will generate wide ranging media coverage and publicity, positioning collaborators at the forefront of innovation in the built environment.
